Fairfield Inn & Suites is celebrating the grand opening of their newest hotel in Indiana. Located at 1335 West Main Street, this 105 room Fairfield Inn & Suites is owned by Schahet Hotels and is opening in a great location near shopping and restaurants in Carmel. Fortney & Weygandt, Inc. was the general contractor and Bounds & Gillespie was the architect for this 60,900 square-foot, 4 story block and plank hotel.
Weather conditions can often have negative effects on a construction project, particularly potentially delaying the intended completion date. Fortney & Weygandt, Inc. has projects spread across the entire nation and, as a result, we must monitor weather conditions from coast-to-coast. So when I speak to business associates in the Midwest and they remark that the weather has been great and that we must be rolling along quite easily, I have to educate them that we may be good in this part of the country, but we have issues elsewhere. Adverse weather conditions can easily cause delays which, in turn, affect a project’s completion schedule.

Fortney & Weygandt participated in the 7th Annual CLE Plane Pull benefiting the Special Olympics of Ohio on Saturday in the I-X Center parking lot. Teams of 20 people had one chance to pull a Boeing 737, which weighed over 100,000 pounds, 12 feet in the fastest time. The event raised over $68,000 for the Special Olympics of Ohio.
Fortney & Weygandt has nearly four decades of experience in the restaurant industry and has had a longtime relationship with Arby’s Restaurant Group for nearly 15 years. In that time we have built and remodeled many locations for the popular restaurant chain. Arby’s got its start in Boardman, OH in 1964 by Leroy and Forrest Raffel. Today there are more than 3,000 locations across the country.
Federal Way has a new CVS/phamacy location which opened for business earlier this year. This CVS/pharmacy location is a 12,900 square foot new build on an existing gas station site. The project started at the end of June and opened for business in February. Although Seattle had record rainfall and cold weather this winter, we were still able to open on time and under budget! This CVS features a mezzanine level, drive-thru pick up and a mini-clinic.
